Get Writing, New Zealand!
NZ Writers College is passionate about uncovering new literary talent in New Zealand. Every year, we sponsor a free-to-enter annual short story competition open to all New Zealanders. Over the past 11 years, thousands of brave, creative Kiwi writers have taken up the challenge and entered their stories.
Apart from receiving a cash prize of $1000 for the winner, and $500 and $250 for second and third place, we publish the winning stories in the beautifully compiled anthology 'Surfacing', free to download off our website.
Critiqued by a panel of award-winning writers, many of our top entrants go on to win other writing competitions and achieve publishing success.
The 2020 NZ Writers College Short Story Competition closes on 30 September. Full rules and guidelines are here: www.nzwriterscollege.co.nz...
